At Intrum Justitia, we depend on our people to deliver on our ambitious goals in challenging environments. The objective of our remuneration philosophy is to ensure that our employees are rewarded for valuable contributions to our Company.

Remuneration Philosophy

At Intrum Justitia, we depend on our people to deliver on our ambitious goals in challenging environments. The objective of our remuneration philosophy is to ensure that our employees are rewarded for valuable contributions to our company. It also drives and promotes the behaviors and performances that best support our business strategy and ensures that we are able to attract the key talent we need to be successful.

Remuneration in Intrum Justitia should reflect individual competence, responsibility and performance, and it should be competitive in comparison to that of similar companies within similar industries in the relevant geography. To ensure that we drive the right behaviours and focus our efforts in the right areas, performance is measured against goals that are closely linked to our business strategy and core values.

The total remuneration is based upon four main components; base salary, short- and longterm incentive programs and pension. In addition hereto, other benefits, such as a company car, may be offered. The base salary depends on the complexity of work and the individual's performance and competence.

Short-term incentive program

Our short-term incentive program rewards the achievement of primarily financial business goals and drives short term performance, and hence it is set for one year at a time. The metrics are individually decided for each senior executive, in order to reflect the business strategy and our key focus areas. The evaluation metrics reflect business goals and enterprise value creation. In addition, the short term incentive allows for our total remuneration costs to vary based on both business and individual performance.

The maximum pay out under the short-term incentive program is 50 percent of annual base salary for the CEO and 20 to 50 percent of the base salary for the other members of the Group Management Team.

Long-term incentive program

Our long-term incentive program aligns the interests and perspectives of our senior executives with those of our shareholders and creates a close commitment to the Company. It rewards long-term value creation over a period of three years, and lets our senior executives share the success of the business. As we believe it to be the best indicator of our Company’s long term success, we generally use growth in Earnings Per Share (EPS) as the measurement of value created. Similarly to the short-term incentive program, it also allows for our total remuneration costs to vary based on business performance.

The maximum pay out under the long-term incentive program is 50 percent of annual base salary for the CEO and 20 to 50 percent of the base salary for the other members of the Group Management Team.

Costs

The costs for the incentive programs for the CEO and members of the Group Management Team during 2017 are estimated not to exceed MSEK 11 for the short-term program and MSEK 10.2 for the long-term program, excluding social charges. These estimates do not take into account possible changes to the Group Management Team following the merger with Lindorff, such as its composition and individual remuneration.

Shareholding guidelines

To further promote ownership behaviour and commitment among our group management team, we have put in place shareholding guidelines that directly link the individual compensation of senior executives to the success of our business. The guidelines means that each senior executive is asked to hold a percentage of their annual gross base salary in Intrum Justitia shares – 100 percent for the CEO and 50 percent for other senior executives. The shares are to be held for as long as the senior executives are employed in the Company and members of the Group Management Team.

The shareholding guidelines were introduced in 2015, and each senior executive has been given an amount of time (to be individually agreed) to build up his/hers shareholding.

Miscellaneous

In case of termination of employment by Intrum Justitia, severance payments (if any) will not exceed twelve months’ base salary.

If unusual or special reasons are at hand in an individual case, the Board of Directors reserves the possibility to deviate from these remuneration guidelines..
